This past weekend around 20 students in my study abroad program that live in the Residence Hall went on a trip to a town called Hermanus just an hour and a half South East of Cape Town. The town is famous for its whale and white shark sightings which become very frequent in September-October... and it definitely lived up to its reputation. We spent Saturday lounging on a tiny beach watching whales probably 100 yards from shore.
We had a very relaxing day hanging out with a seal that happened to be doing the exact same thing as us. That night we had a braai at our hostel and after a couple games of pool I was ready for a good night's sleep. The next morning a group of us woke up, had a quick breakfast and went for a hike in the foothills of town. We made our way up to a dam/reservoir where we jumped in off the bridge in the picture below to cool off. Hermanus made for a well deserved relaxing weekend after a packed week of school.
